Gel Stain by General Finishes

Woodworkers love the lustrous finish that shows up when rubbing out the 2nd and 3rd coats. Gel Stains are formulated with a combination of pigments, oils, and urethanes to produce a durable and beautiful "hand-rubbed" finish.

Gel Stains are heavy-bodied, and so do not penetrate as deeply into the wood as liquid oilbase stains do. Because of this, they are often less affected by the condition of the wood, and can help you get a more even appearance on difficult woods such as aspen or pine.

Chalk Paint ® Wax - Large (500 mL)

Regular price
$ 24.95

It is the perfect partner for Chalk Paint ® decorative paint by Annie Sloan because they have been developed to work together. It can be used for protection and to give a beautiful mellow matte finish on painted furniture, cabinets, and walls. Our Chalk Paint ® Wax can be mixed with Chalk Paint ® make a colored wax - how amazing!

HOW TO USE:

Apply Clear Wax with a cloth or brush over dry Chalk Paint ®. The wax will appear to darken the paint, but on drying it won’t be so apparent. For a distressed finish, rub gently with fine sandpaper AFTER applying the Clear Wax (while wax is still wet), then wax again. For a more pronounced aged look use Dark Wax over the Clear Wax, working it into any brush textures and removing excess with the clear wax. Finally buff with a cloth.

To maintain your furniture use a spray cleaner and re-wax. Annie Sloan Chalk Paint ® Wax is water repellent so it can be used on kitchen cabinets and table tops - apply two coats of wax, letting the coats dry in between, and buff to a high sheen. Soft Wax is not recommended for areas with a lot of water. Wax brushes should be washed in hot soapy water immediately after use.
